As established as Swizz Beatz is as a music producer and seasoned art collector, he has ventured into Saudi Arabia to set up a Riyadh-based global creative agency.
producers, playwrights, fashion types and others will be among the creatives represented by the new agency. Having been laying the groundwork for the project for many years by speaking with people in Saudi Arabia, Beatz said the plan is to proceed on a project-by-project basis.
Good Intentions’ debut event in Saudi will be four public art installations at the Jeddah Art Promenade that will be on view during the F1 Saudi Formula Grand Prix from Dec. 3 to 5. Studio Drift, Kwest, Javid Jah and Janet Echelman have created massive and dramatic outdoor sculptures. The first project is being produced by Far Right Productions and curated by Umbereen Inayet. An artistic falcon figure, for example, that rests on the water will be recognizable from afar.
Taher later added that the stigma about Saudi happens because people don’t often speak to people, including women from Saudi Arabia, to discuss with them women’s rights and what they have to say about the matter. “A lot of times it’s headlines, media and stereotypes that speak for us. Now more than ever you have a lot of women in leadership roles and in the government leading a lot of initiatives,” she said. “…I’m on a construction site and I feel completely comfortable and really safe.
Despite having a collection of Ferraris, Beatz isn’t so interested in speeding any more. “To be honest, I like to look at the cars more than to drive them. For me, Ferraris are amazing sculptures. Yes, I drive them but I’m not into speeding like I used to. I don’t know what happened. When I was younger, I just wanted to put the pedal to the floor. I guess I’m older now.
